Glenn Wurtele's segment on the 1973-1974 television show, Thrill Seekers, where he sets himself on fire and jumps off a cliff on skis.

Thrill Seekers was a show all about people doing wild and dangerous stunts. It was produced by Four Star Television and hosted by Chuck Connors over its short one season, 13-episode run.

This footage is notable in pop culture. The burning ski jump depicted here is featured in the opening credits to Fox's 2000s sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle.

Note that this footage is recycled from Warren Miller's 1974 film, The Color of Skiing.
